I Never Knew You ...

John & Mary Allison in their younger days
My Grandparents, Daddy's Parents






Before 1947 the year I was born



I Never Knew You ...

Throughout my life I had one set of Grandparents, my mother's parents. Daddy's dad passed away before I was born and his mom passed away in the 50's when I was small. I can't remember her. I have a picture or two of them yet I wished I had known them.


This poem is dedicated to My Grandparents, John & Mary Allison



I Never Knew You




Throughout the years

I wondered

how it would be

If I could just known you

and you were here with me

Grandparents are special

for a kid so young and small

I never knew you

while growing to be big and tall

Granddaddy left

years before the day of my birth

There were only a few of us

as you spent your days on earth

I barely remember Granny,

she left when I was small

So now I never knew you

or remember you at all

It seems so very long ago

and yet I wish it too

That I could have known you

and felt the love so true...

Happy Grandparents Day!
